I don't remember the maker of this gun, but a guy came out yesterday with a triple gauge 18" barrel, think it's Turkish. Craziest thing I've ever seen anybody use on dove. Looks like a home defense gun.

Cyl/IC or SK/LM 1.125 to 1.25oz of 7.5s with the open chokes.
IC/Mod in the 20ga with 1oz 7.5s
Thought for the day: Ducks were almost hunted to extinction long before camo was invented.

Just depends on the situation, Buzz. Where I hunt I rarely shoot beyond 20 yards so I keep the most open chokes I have in the gun I'm using. Overall I would agree that imp and lm would cover most situations the best.

I shoot a CZ Bobwhite SXS 20ga. Mod in the left and Improved Mod in the right. You'll want that little tighter choke with that 20. Need to put more pellets on target to get a good knock down with that 20ga. In an ideal situation, all the birds would be in your face and make a 10-15yrd shot.... we all know this doesn't happen that way, especially a little later in the season. Save yourself the frustration and get you a set of Briley extended chokes for it.

Another LM/IC vote.
Might change to M/LM if the birds start flying higher.

I had a limit before 9 Am in Woodson. Great combo in my gun.

Remember the OP for this Question is for a 20ga. Do most of y'all hunt with double 20's??? I assume most of you hunt with 12's. I see a lot of responses saying different things that make more sense if its for a 12. 20's pattern diff especially at anything over 15yrds

Mostly dove and quail and an occasional pheasant hunt. IMO (and experience), a 20ga is plenty of gun if you put the bb's on the bird. There is no need to be taking 50-60 yard shots at any bird.

I use mod /ic. But I am shooting a 12 ga.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
